Acme Manufacturing

Acme Manufacturing Acme Manufacturing is one of the earliest pioneers in surface finishing automation. grinding of bar and tube materials.

As the premier robotic integrator in the material removal space, Acme has produced over 3900 robotic systems. Since 1910, the company has remained family-owned and operated by four generations of the Carlson family. The family has brought a steady sequence of innovations to over 20 industries on a global scale. As the premier robotic integrator in the surface finishing space, Acme has produced ove

r 3500 robotic systems. In addition, Acme is known for its full line of coated abrasive belt centerless grinding systems, ideal for O.D. Acme reduces the cost of surface finishing operations by as much as 65%. We design, build and integrate programmable robotic systems that perform buffing, polishing, grinding, deburring and material handling.

This week, Acme was proud to sponsor the keynote presentation by Jake Hall, The Manufacturing Millennial, at the Ductile Iron Society Annual Spring Conference. His message on the future of manufacturing and automation, and on attracting the next generation of talent, resonated with many of the conversations throughout the event.

John McGrane represented Acme at the conference and shared how robotic material removal is reshaping perceptions of foundry careers. By reducing repetitive manual tasks, improving workplace safety, and introducing advanced manufacturing technologies, automation is helping foundries create more engaging opportunities for the next generation of skilled workers.

Thank you to the Ductile Iron Society for a great event and for welcoming us to South Bend.

Join Jack Fisher and Pat O'Neil at the Automate Show 2026 for a candid discussion on one of the biggest misconceptions in material removal automation.

In a world filled with AI buzzwords and low-cost automation solutions, it is easy to assume technology alone will solve the problem. The reality is that successful automation starts with understanding the process.

We have an 116-year track record with material removal applications; Jack and Patrick will share lessons learned from grinding, polishing, buffing, deburring, and cut-off systems across a wide range of industries. The session will cover how to evaluate automation opportunities, avoid common project pitfalls, and ensure technology decisions align with process requirements.
